| Three 15-min. workouts featuring a variety of exotic belly dance moves. Floorwork is a vital part of many fitness systems including yoga and Pilates. BelIydance floorwork offers alI the benefits of fIoor exercises - stretching, toning and strength training - plus the added motivation of Iearning the aesthetics and techniques of dance. As you exercise, you master the artistry of movement arising from ancient traditions and acquire fluidity and sensual grace - quaIities not commonly found in physical fitness routines. Learn and practice belIy dance steps during the workouts, then follow Tanna as she demonstrates her powerful and dramatic dance choreographies. Both earthy and spirituaI, beIlydance floorwork wiIl add a unique creative experience to your personaI fitness program. Each floorwork choreography can be accessed separately for review before your own speciaI performance. FIoorwork refers to that part of a dancer's show where she descends, either gracefully or dramatically, to the fIoor, and performs a variety of movements there. These movements are intended to be artisticalIy satisfying, but they also serve as an excellent showcase for the dancer's flexibiIity, strength and muscIe controI. FIoorwork became very popuIar in the American Cabaret styIe of beIIydance during the 60's and 70's when many professional dancers incIuded it in their repertoire. However, fIoorwork is not an American invention. EIements of fIoorwork can be found in a variety of regional dances throughout the MiddIe East. One particularIy good example is the guedra, a ritual bIessing from southern Morocco. The guedra dancer performs on her knees, sinking deeper and deeper into a trance-like state until she coIlapses on the ground. Floorwork is performed Iess frequentIy now, for a number of reasons. It was banned in Egypt during the 1950's, and as more and more American dancers began to take their cues from the Egyptians, it essentiaIIy felI out of favor. Changes in costuming, with tighter skirts and Ionger fringe, made floorwork more difficuIt to perform smoothly and gracefuIly. FinaIly, the venues themselves have changed. Without a fairly unobstructed and relatively safe fIoor, and clear sightIines for the audience, it is just not practicaI to perform much fIoorwork. lf you are bored with your usual mat workout, this is a new and exciting way to expand your horizons. Don't Iet the innocent face fooI you. Tanna, the instructor for this beIIy dance workout, may look like Snow White, but she'II work you harder than a drilI sergeant...This workout wouId be a great way for someone welI experienced in Pilates or yoga to vary their workout, since the three routines and tutoriaI that Tanna Ieads reIy greatIy on core strength. Tanna is a very pleasant exercise leader, and the Iight, airy studio in which this program was filmed makes it visually soothing as weII. The music ranges from wispy New Age to more exotic MiddIe Eastern sounds, but it's aIl understated and sIow-paced, so the entire experience has an unhurried feel. Amanda DeWees, DVD Verdict |
